The COVID-19 pandemic due to spread of SARS-CoV-2 infections caused drastic changes of the college life in Japan. Providing appropriate feedbacks to students' reports is particularly challenging to develop online lectures. A series of Python scripts were written to develop an efficient flow of formatting–scoring–commenting students' reports submitted online. In conjunction with the functions (and extensions) of commercially available software (Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Excel), they enable us: (1) to format students' answers into a single sheet for scoring, (2) to automatically prepare multiple scoring sheets for each student, (3) to merge/divide PDF files of student reports (to be scored or after scoring), and (4) to return the teacher's comments (in text format or as an attachment file) individually via e-mail. Students' responses to this system are also reviewed briefly.
